With the lowest input noise and up to 8 GHz analog bandwidth, the 6 SeriesMSO provides the best signal fidelity for analyzing and debugging today'sembedded systems with GHz clock and bus speeds. The remarkablyinnovative pinch-swipe-zoom touchscreen user interface coupled with theindustry's largest high definition display and 4 FlexChannel® inputs that letyou measure one analog or eight digital signals per channel, the 6 SeriesMSO is ready for today's toughest challenges and tomorrow's too.

FlexChannel® technology enables maximum flexibilityand broader system visibility

The 6 Series MSO redefines what a Mixed Signal Oscilloscope (MSO)should be. FlexChannel technology enables each of the inputs on theinstrument to be used as a single analog channel or eight digital channels.The conversion is done by simply attaching a TLP058 logic probe to anyinput. Imagine the flexibility and configurability this provides.

You can change the configuration at any time by simply adding or removingTLP058 logic probes, so you always have the right number of digitalchannels.

FlexChannel technology enables the ultimate in flexibility. Each input can be configuredas a single analog or eight digital channels based on the type of probe you attach.

The 6 Series MSO offers a new level of integration of digital channels.Digital channels share the same high sample rate (up to 25 GS/s) for finetiming resolution, and long record length (up to 250 Mpoints) for long timecaptures as analog channels. Previous-generation MSOs requiredtradeoffs, with digital channels having lower sample rates or shorter recordlengths than analog channels.

The TLP058 provides eight high performance digital inputs. Connect as many TLP058probes as you like, enabling up to a maximum of 32 digital channels.

6 Series MSO


FlexChannel 2 has a TLP058 Logic Probe connected to the eight inputs of a DAC. Notice the green and blue color coding, where ones are green and zeros are blue. Another TLP058Logic Probe on FlexChannel 3 is probing the SPI bus driving the DAC. The white edges indicate higher frequency information is available by either zooming in or moving to a fastersweep speed on the next acquisition.

Color-coded digital traces make it easy to determine if a logic signal is aone or a zero, even when the trace is flat across the display. Ones aredisplayed in green and zeros in blue. Unique multiple-transition detectionhardware indicates when more than one transition occurs within a sampleinterval. A white bar on the trace indicates that more information isavailable by zooming in or acquiring at faster sampling rates. Often,zooming in will reveal a glitch that was previously hidden. Distinctthresholds can be defined for each digital channel, enabling you to easilyobserve different logic families, unlike other MSOs that have one or twoshared thresholds across all digital channels.

Unprecedented signal viewing capability

The stunning 15.6" (396 mm) display in the 6 Series MSO is the largestdisplay in the industry. It is also the highest resolution display, with full HDresolution (1,920 x 1,080), enabling you to see many signals at once withample room for critical readouts and analysis.

The viewing area is optimized to ensure that the maximum vertical space isavailable for waveforms. The Results Bar on the right can be hidden,enabling the waveform view to use the full width of the display.

Stacked display mode enables easy visibility of all waveforms while maintaining maximum ADC resolution on each input for the most accurate measurements.

The 6 Series MSO offers a revolutionary new Stacked display mode.Historically, scopes have overlaid all waveforms in the same graticule,forcing difficult tradeoffs:

To make each waveform visible, you vertically scale and position eachwaveform so that they don't overlap. Each waveform uses a smallpercentage of the available ADC range, leading to less accuratemeasurements.

For measurement accuracy, you vertically scale and position eachwaveform to cover the entire display. The waveforms overlap eachother, making it hard to distinguish signal details on individualwaveforms

The new Stacked display eliminates this tradeoff. It automatically adds andremoves additional horizontal waveform 'slices' (additional graticules) aswaveforms are created and removed. Each slice represents the full ADCrange for the waveform. All waveforms are visually separated from eachother while still using the full ADC range, enabling maximum visibility andaccuracy. And it's all done automatically as waveforms are added orremoved! Channels can easily be reordered in stacked display mode bydragging and dropping the channel and waveform badges in the Settingsbar at the bottom of the display.

The massive display in the 6 Series MSO also provides plenty of viewingarea not only for signals, but also for plots, measurement results tables,bus decode tables and more. You can easily resize and relocate thevarious views to suit your application.

Viewing three analog channels, eight digital channels, a decoded serial bus waveform, decoded serial packet results table, four measurements, a measurement histogram,measurements results table with statistics and a search on serial bus events - simultaneously!

Exceptionally easy-to-use user interface lets youfocus on the task at hand

The Settings Bar - key parameters and waveform management

Waveform and scope operating parameters are displayed in a series of“badges” in the Settings Bar that runs along the bottom of the display. TheSettings Bar provides Immediate access for the most common waveformmanagement tasks. With a single tap, you can:

Turn on channels

Add math waveforms

Add reference waveforms

Add bus waveforms

Enable the integrated Arbitrary/Function generator (AFG)

Enable the integrated digital voltmeter (DVM)

The Results Bar - analysis and measurements

The Results Bar on the right side of the display includes immediate, one-tap access to the most common analytical tools such as cursors,measurements, searches, measurement and bus decode results tables,plots, and notes.

DVM, measurement and search results badges are displayed in the ResultsBar without sacrificing any waveform viewing area. For additional waveformviewing area, the Results Bar can be dismissed and brought back at anytime.

Configuration menus are accessed by simply double-tapping on the item of interest onthe display. In this case, the Trigger badge was double-tapped to open the Triggerconfiguration menu.

Touch interaction finally done right

Scopes have included touch screens for years, but the touch screen hasbeen an afterthought. The 6 Series MSO's 15.6" display includes acapacitive touchscreen and provides the industry's first oscilloscope userinterface truly designed for touch.

The touch interactions that you use with phones and tablets, and expect ina touch enabled device, are supported in the 6 Series MSO.

Drag waveforms left/right or up/down to adjust horizontal and verticalposition or to pan a zoomed view

Pinch and expand to change scale or zoom in/out in either horizontal orvertical directions

Drag items to the trash can to delete them

Swipe in from the right to reveal the Results Bar or down from the topto access the menus in the upper left corner of the display

Smooth, responsive front panel controls allow you to make adjustmentswith familiar knobs and buttons, and you can add a mouse or keyboard asa third interaction method.

Interact with the capacitive touch display in the same way you do on your phones andtablets.

Attention to detail in the front-panel controls

Traditionally, the front face of a scope has been roughly 50% display and50% front panel. The 6 Series MSO display fills about 85% of the face ofthe instrument. To achieve this, it has a streamlined front panel that retainscritical controls for simple intuitive operation, but with a reduced number ofmenu buttons for functions directly accessed via objects on the display.

Color-coded LED light rings indicate trigger source and vertical scale/position knob assignments. Large, dedicated Run/ Stop and SingleSequence buttons are placed prominently in the upper right, and otherfunctions like Force Trigger, Trigger Slope, Trigger Mode, Default Setup,Autoset and Quick-save functions are all available using dedicated frontpanel buttons.

Efficient and intuitive front panel provides critical controls while still leaving room for themassive 15.6" high definition display.

6 Series MSO


Windows or not - you choose

The 6 Series MSO offers you the choice of whether to include a MicrosoftWindows™ operating system. Opening an access panel on the bottom ofthe instrument reveals a connection for a solid state drive (SSD). When theSSD is not present, the instrument boots as a dedicated scope with noability to run or install other programs.

When the SSD is present, the instrument boots in an openWindows 10 configuration, so you can minimize the oscilloscopeapplication and access a Windows desktop where you can install and runadditional applications on the oscilloscope. Or you can connect additionalmonitors and extend your desktop.

Whether you run Windows or not, the oscilloscope operates in exactly thesame way with the same look and feel and UI interaction.

Experience the performance differenceWith up to 8 GHz analog bandwidth, 25 GS/s sample rates, standard62.5 M record length and a 12-bit analog to digital converter (ADC), the6 Series MSO has the performance you need to capture waveforms withthe best possible signal fidelity and resolution for seeing small waveformdetails.

Digital Phosphor technology with FastAcq™ high-speed waveform capture

To debug a design problem, first you must know it exists. Digital phosphortechnology with FastAcq provides you with fast insight into the realoperation of your device. Its fast waveform capture rate - greater than500,000 waveforms per second - gives you a high probability of seeing theinfrequent problems common in digital systems: runt pulses, glitches, timingissues, and more. To further enhance the visibility of rarely occurringevents, intensity grading indicates how often rare transients are occurringrelative to normal signal characteristics.

FastAcq's high waveform capture rate enables you to discover infrequent problemscommon in digital design.

Industry leading vertical resolution and low noise

The 6 Series MSO provides the performance to capture the signals ofinterest while minimizing the effects of unwanted noise when you need tocapture high-amplitude signals while seeing smaller signal details. At theheart of the 6 Series MSO are 12-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADCs)that provide 16 times the vertical resolution of traditional 8-bit ADCs.

A new High Res mode applies a hardware-based unique Finite ImpulseResponse (FIR) filter based on the selected sample rate. The FIR filtermaintains the maximum bandwidth possible for that sample rate whilepreventing aliasing and removing noise from the oscilloscope amplifiersand ADC above the usable bandwidth for the selected sample rate.

High Res mode always provides at least 12 bits of vertical resolution andextends all the way to 16 bits of vertical resolution at ≤ 625 MS/s samplerates and 200 MHz of bandwidth. The following table shows the number ofbits of vertical resolution for each sample rate setting when in High Res.

Sample rate Number of bits of vertical resolution25 GS/s 8 12.5 GS/s 12 6.25 GS/s 13 3.125 MS/s 14 1.25 MS/s 15 ≤625 MS/s 16

Datasheet


The 6 Series MSOs 12-bit ADC along with the new High Res mode enable industryleading vertical resolution.

A new TEK061 front end amplifier sets a new standard for low-noiseacquisition providing the best signal fidelity to capture small signals withhigh resolution.

A key attribute to being able to view fine signal details on small, high-speedsignals is noise. The higher a measurement systems' intrinsic noise, theless true signal detail will be visible. This becomes more critical on anoscilloscope when the vertical settings are set to high sensitivity (like ≤10mV/div) in order to view small signals that are prevalent in high-speedbus topologies. The 6 Series MSO has a new front-end ASIC, the TEK061,that enables breakthrough noise performance at the highest sensitivitysettings. The table below shows a comparison of typical noise performanceof the 6 Series MSO and prior generations of Tektronix oscilloscopes in thisbandwidth range.

Pulse width

Window

Timeout

Rise/fall time

Visual Trigger

With up to a 250 Mpoint record length, you can capture many events ofinterest, even thousands of serial packets in a single acquisition, providinghigh-resolution to zoom in on fine signal details and record reliablemeasurements.

3 Bandwidth limited to 200 MHz.

6 Series MSO


The wide variety of trigger types and context-sensitive help in the trigger menu make iteasier than ever to isolate the event of interest.

Visual trigger -Finding the signal of interest quickly

Finding the right cycle of a complex bus can require hours of collecting andsorting through thousands of acquisitions for an event of interest. Defining atrigger that isolates the desired event speeds up debug and analysisefforts.

Visual Trigger extends the 6 Series MSO's triggering capabilities byscanning through all waveform acquisitions and comparing them to on-screen areas (geometric shapes). An unlimited number of areas can becreated using a mouse or touchscreen, and a variety of shapes (triangles,rectangles, hexagons, or trapezoids) can be used to specify the desiredtrigger behavior. Once shapes are created, they can be edited interactivelyto create custom shapes and ideal trigger conditions.

Visual Trigger areas isolate an event of interest, saving time by only capturing the eventsyou want to see.

By triggering only on the most important signal events, Visual Trigger cansave hours of capturing and manually searching through acquisitions. Inseconds or minutes, you can find the critical events and complete yourdebug and analysis efforts. Visual Trigger even works across multiplechannels, extending its usefulness to complex system troubleshooting anddebug tasks.

Multiple channel triggering. Visual Trigger areas can be associated with events spanningmultiple channels such as packets transmitted on two bus signals simultaneously.

Once multiple areas are defined, a Boolean logic equation can be used toset complex trigger conditions using on-screen editing features.

Boolean logic trigger qualification. Boolean logic using logical OR allows triggering on aspecific anomaly in the signal.

TekVPI Probe Interface

The TekVPI® probe interface sets the standard for ease of use in probing.In addition to the secure, reliable connection that the interface provides,many TekVPI probes feature status indicators and controls, as well as aprobe menu button right on the comp box itself. This button brings up aprobe menu on the oscilloscope display with all relevant settings andcontrols for the probe. The TekVPI interface enables direct attachment ofcurrent probes without requiring a separate power supply. TekVPI probescan be controlled remotely through USB or LAN, enabling more versatilesolutions in ATE environments. The 6 Series MSO provides up to 40 W ofpower to the front panel connectors, sufficient to power all connectedTekVPI probes without the need for an additional probe power supply.

Convenient high speed passive voltage probing

The TPP Series passive voltage probes included with every 6 Series MSOoffer all the benefits of general-purpose probes -- high dynamic range,flexible connection options, and robust mechanical design, while providingthe performance of active probes. Up to 1 GHz analog bandwidth enablesyou to see high frequency components in your signals, and extremely low3.9 pF capacitive loading minimizes adverse effects on your circuits and ismore forgiving of longer ground leads.

An optional, low-attenuation (2X) version of the TPP probe is available formeasuring low voltages. Unlike other low-attenuation passive probes, theTPP0502 has high bandwidth (500 MHz) as well as low capacitive loading(12.7 pF).

6 Series MSOs come standard with one TPP1000 (1 GHz, 2.5 GHz models) probe perchannel.

Using measurements to characterize burst width and Frequency.

6 Series MSO


Navigation and search

Finding your event of interest in a long waveform record can be timeconsuming without the right search tools. With today's record lengths ofmany millions of data points, locating your event can mean scrollingthrough literally thousands of screens of signal activity.

The 6 Series MSO offers the industry's most comprehensive search andwaveform navigation with its innovative Wave Inspector® controls. Thesecontrols speed panning and zooming through your record. With a uniqueforce-feedback system, you can move from one end of your record to theother in just seconds. Or, use intuitive drag and pinch/expand gestures onthe display itself to investigate areas of interest in a long record.

The Search feature allows you to automatically search through your longacquisition looking for user-defined events. All occurrences of the event arehighlighted with search marks and are easily navigated to, using thePrevious ( ← ) and Next ( → ) buttons found on the front panel or on theSearch badge on the display. Search types include edge, pulse width,timeout, runt, window, logic, setup and hold, rise/fall time and parallel/serialbus packet content. You can define as many unique searches as you like.

You can also quickly jump to the minimum and maximum value of searchresults by using the Min and Max buttons on the Search badge.

Earlier, FastAcq revealed the presence of a runt pulse in a digital data stream prompting further investigation. In this long 20 ms acquisition, Search 1 reveals that there are approximately37,500 rising edges in the acquisition. Search 2 (run simultaneously) reveals that there are six runt pulses in the acquisition.

Datasheet


Serial protocol triggering and analysis (optional)

During debugging, it can be invaluable to trace the flow of activity through asystem by observing the traffic on one or more serial buses. It could takemany minutes to manually decode a single serial packet, much less thethousands of packets that may be present in a long acquisition.

And if you know the event of interest that you are attempting to captureoccurs when a particular command is sent across a serial bus, wouldn't itbe nice if you could trigger on that event? Unfortunately, it's not as easy assimply specifying an edge or a pulse width trigger.

Triggering on a USB full-speed serial bus. A bus waveform provides time-correlated decoded packet content including Start, Sync, PID, Address, End Point, CRC, Data values, and Stop,while the bus decode table presents all packet content from the entire acquisition.

The 6 Series MSO offers a robust set of tools for working with the mostcommon serial buses found in embedded design including I2C, SPI,RS-232/422/485/UART, SPMI, CAN, CAN FD, LIN, FlexRay, SENT, USBLS/FS/HS, Ethernet 10/100, Audio (I2S/LJ/RJ/TDM), MIL-STD-1553, andARINC 429.

Serial protocol search enables you to search through a long acquisition ofserial packets and find the ones that contain the specific packet content youspecify. Each occurrence is highlighted by a search mark. Rapid navigationbetween marks is as simple as pressing the Previous ( ← ) and Next ( → )buttons on the front panel or in the Search badge that appears in theResults Bar.

Parallel buses are still found in many designs. The tools described for serialbuses also work on parallel buses. Support for parallel buses is standard inthe 6 Series MSO. Parallel buses can be up to 32 bits wide and can includea combination of analog and digital channels.

Serial protocol triggering lets you trigger on specific packet contentincluding start of packet, specific addresses, specific data content,unique identifiers, and errors.

Bus waveforms provide a higher-level, combined view of the individualsignals (clock, data, chip enable, and so on) that make up your bus,making it easy to identify where packets begin and end, and identifyingsub-packet components such as address, data, identifier, CRC, and soon.

The bus waveform is time aligned with all other displayed signals,making it easy to measure timing relationships across various parts ofthe system under test.

Bus decode tables provide a tabular view of all decoded packets in anacquisition much like you would see in a software listing. Packets aretime stamped and listed consecutively with columns for eachcomponent (Address, Data, and so on).

6 Series MSO


Jitter analysis

The 6 Series MSO has seamlessly integrated the DPOJET Essentials jitterand eye pattern analysis software package, extending the oscilloscope'scapabilities to take measurements over contiguous clock and data cycles ina single-shot real-time acquisition. This enables measurement of key jitterand timing analysis parameters such as Time Interval Error and PhaseNoise to help characterize possible system timing issues.

Analysis tools, such as plots for time trends and histograms, quickly showhow timing parameters change over time, and spectrum analysis quicklyshows the precise frequency and amplitude of jitter and modulationsources.

Option 6-DJA adds additional jitter analysis capability to better characterizeyour device's performance. The 31 additional measurements providecomprehensive jitter and eye-diagram analysis and jitter decompositionalgorithms, enabling the discovery of signal integrity issues and theirrelated sources in today's high-speed serial, digital, and communicationsystem designs.

The unique Jitter Summary provides a comprehensive view of your device's performance in a matter of seconds.

Datasheet


Power analysis

The 6 Series MSO has also integrated the optional 6-PWR power analysispackage into the oscilloscope's automatic measurement system to enablequick and repeatable analysis of power quality, input capacitance, in-rushcurrent, harmonics, switching loss, safe operating area (SOA), modulation,ripple, magnetics measurements, efficiency, amplitude and timingmeasurements, and slew rate (dv/dt and di/dt).

Measurement automation optimizes the measurement quality andrepeatability at the touch of a button, without the need for an external PC orcomplex software setup.

The Power Analysis measurements display a variety of waveforms and plots.

Compliance test

A key focus area for embedded designers is testing various embedded andinterface technologies for compliance. This ensures the device passes thelogo certification at plugfests and achieves successful interoperability whenworking with other compliant devices.

The compliance test specifications for high speed serial standards likeUSB, Ethernet, Memory, Display and MIPI are developed by the respectiveconsortiums, or governing bodies. Working closely with these consortiums,Tektronix has developed oscilloscope-based compliance applications thatnot only focus on providing pass/fail results but also provide deeper insightinto any failures by providing relevant measurement tools such as jitter andtiming analysis to debug failing designs.

These automated compliance applications are built on a framework thatprovides:

Complete test coverage per the specification.

Fast test times with optimized acquisitions and test sequencing basedon customized settings.

Analysis based on previously-acquired signals, allowing the deviceunder test (DUT) to be disconnected from the setup once allacquisitions are completed. This also allows analysis of waveformsacquired on a different oscilloscope or captured at a remote lab,facilitating a very collaborative test environment.

Signal validation during acquisition to ensure the right signals are beingcaptured.

Additional parametric measurements for design debug.

Custom eye diagram mask testing for insight into design margin.

Detailed reports in multiple formats with setup information, results,margins, waveform screenshots and plot images.
